Definitions

  • the present invention relates to organic compounds useful for therapy or prophylaxis in a mammal, and in particular to monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) inhibitors for the treatment or prophylaxis of neuroinflammation, neurodegenerative diseases, pain, cancer, mental disorders, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, traumatic brain injury, neurotoxicity, stroke, epilepsy, anxiety, migraine and/or depression in a mammal.
  • MLM monoacylglycerol lipase
  • Endocannabinoids are signaling lipids that exert their biological actions by interacting with cannabinoid receptors (CBRs), CB1 and CB2. They modulate multiple physiological processes including neuroinflammation, neurodegeneration and tissue regeneration (Iannotti, F.A., et al, Progress in lipid research 2016, 62, 107-28.). In the brain, the main
  • endocannabinoid, 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2 -AG) is produced by diacyglycerol lipases (DAGL) and hydrolyzed by the monoacylglycerol lipase, MAGL.
  • DAGL diacyglycerol lipases
  • MAGL hydrolyses 85% of 2-AG; the remaining 15% being hydrolysed by ABHD6 and ABDH12 (Nomura, D.K., et al. , Science 2011, 334, 809.).
  • MAGL is expressed throughout the brain and in most brain cell types, including neurons, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes and microglia cells (Chanda, P.K., et al, Molecular pharmacology 2010, 78, 996; Viader, A., et al, Cell reports 2015, 12, 798.).
  • 2-AG hydrolysis results in the formation of arachidonic acid (AA), the precursor of prostaglandins (PGs) and leukotrienes (LTs).
  • Oxidative metabolism of AA is increased in inflamed tissues.
  • arachidonic acid oxygenation There are two principal enzyme pathways of arachidonic acid oxygenation involved in inflammatory processes, the cyclo-oxygenase which produces PGs and the 5-lipoxygenase which produces LTs.
  • PGE2 is one of the most important. These products have been detected at sites of inflammation, e.g. in the cerebrospinal fluid of patients suffering from neurodegenerative disorders and are believed to contribute to inflammatory response and disease progression. Mice lacking MAGL (Mgll-/-) exhibit dramatically reduced 2-AG hydrolase activity and elevated 2-AG levels in the nervous system while other arachidonoyl-containing phospho- and neutral lipid species including anandamide (AEA), as well as other free fatty acids, are unaltered.

  • TXB2 thromboxane B2
  • Neuroinflammation is a common pathological change characteristic of diseases of the brain including, but not restricted to, neurodegenerative diseases (e.g. multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, traumatic brain injury, neurotoxicity, stroke, epilepsy and mental disorders such as anxiety and migraine).
  • neurodegenerative diseases e.g. multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, traumatic brain injury, neurotoxicity, stroke, epilepsy and mental disorders such as anxiety and migraine.
  • LPS lipopolysaccharide
  • LPS treatment also induces a widespread elevation in pro-inflammatory cytokines including interleukin- 1 -a (IL-l-a), IL-lb, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-a) that is prevented in Mgll-/- mice.
  • IL-l-a interleukin- 1 -a
  • IL-6 tumor necrosis factor-a
  • TNF-a tumor necrosis factor-a
  • MAGL activity was shown to be protective in several animal models of neurodegeneration including, but not restricted to, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and multiple sclerosis.
  • an irreversible MAGL inhibitor has been widely used in preclinical models of neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration (Long, J.Z., et ah, Nature chemical biology 2009, 5, 37.). Systemic injection of such inhibitor recapitulates the Mgll-/- mice phenotype in the brain, including an increase in 2 -AG levels, a reduction in AA levels and related eicosanoids production, as well as the prevention of cytokines production and microglia activation following LPS-induced
  • 2-AG endogenous levels of the MAGL natural substrate in the brain
  • 2-AG has been reported to show beneficial effects on pain with, for example, anti-nociceptive effects in mice (fgnatowska-Jankowska B. et al., J Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 2015, 353, 424.) and on mental disorders, such as depression in chronic stress models (Zhong P. et al,
  • oligodendrocytes (OLs), the myelinating cells of the central nervous system, and their precursors (OPCs) express the cannabinoid receptor 2 (CB2) on their membrane.
  • CB2 cannabinoid receptor 2
  • 2-AG is the endogenous ligand of CB1 and CB2 receptors ft has been reported that both cannabinoids and pharmacological inhibition of MAGL attenuate OLs’s and OPCs’s vulnerability to excitotoxic insults and therefore may be neuroprotective (Bernal-Chico, A., et al, Glia 2015, 63, 163.).
  • MAGL inhibition increases the number of myelinating OLs in the brain of mice, suggesting that MAGL inhibition may promote differentiation of OPCs in myelinating OLs in vivo (Alpar, A., et al, Nature communications 2014, 5, 4421.). Inhibition of MAGL was also shown to promote remyelination and functional recovery in a mouse model of progressive multiple sclerosis (Feliu A. et al, Journal of Neuroscience 2017, 37 (35), 8385.).
  • endocannabinoids system additionally as a part of a gene expression signature, contributes to different aspects of tumourigenesis (Qin, H., et al, Cell Biochem. Biophys. 2014, 70, 33;
  • suppressing the action and/or the activation of MAGL is a promising new therapeutic strategy for the treatment or prevention of neuroinflammation, neurodegenerative diseases, pain, cancer and mental disorders. Furthermore, suppressing the action and/or the activation of MAGL is a promising new therapeutic strategy for providing neuroprotection and myelin regeneration. Accordingly, there is a high unmet medical need for new MAGL inhibitors.
